Rishi Kapoor's sad Demise: When Neetu Kapoor Broke down talking about her husband's Illness and Treatment!

Actor Rishi Kapoor left for heavenly adobe on April 30 in Mumbai, just after the nation had lost Irrfan Khan. Earlier today, Bollywood yet again lost another gem who was struggling for survival since Monday night. The veteran actor passed away at the age of 67.

Apart from being an actor of high caliber, he was also a doting husband to Neetu Kapoor Singh and a father to Ranbir Kapoor and Ridhima Kapoor. Despite being known as a golden couple his relationship with Neetu saw a rough patch and it became really difficult for them to sustain.

However, Neetu stood by him through thick and thin.

In 2018, Rishi Kapoor was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, following which the actor was in New York for nearly a year to undergo treatment. He returned to India in September 2019 after recovering.

However, the actor faced a cancer relapse and succumbed to death. Rishi is survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor and kids Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahani. With wife Neetu Kapoor and son Ranbir Kapoor always being by his side their family pictures made us smile. Wife Neetu remained stable through Rishi’s battle against cancer.

After their return to India, last year, Neetu Kapoor had once spoken in detail about his treatment. The actress and wife had broken down while speaking about the actor and the disease. 

In an earlier interview with Times Now, Neetu Kapoor had revealed how she dealt with the situation and how she reacted when she got to know about it. She said, “My first reaction was, obviously very bad, I was devastated, my kids were devastated. We didn’t know what to do. But then we thought to ourselves that this is it, we have to deal with it. Where he (Rishi) is concerned, he was in denial. For 4-5 months, he was not himself. I think when you start accepting that this is your issue, then you are stronger. I feel he is much stronger for the past, maybe 5-6 months.” 

Rishi Kapoor had then revealed that it was a bone marrow treatment.

Further, when Neetu Kapoor was asked about their family’s support during this time, Neetu Kapoor said in her choking voice that she felt like she was his mother during that time. She felt like Rishi Kapoor was her 3rd kid as she had to take care of his food, medicines, and well-being and a mother wants to do the best. Neetu Kapoor went on to say that she used to trick Rishi Kapoor to eat food as he would not eat at all for nine days at a go. She told the channel, “I used to play tricks around him, talk to the nurse about some restaurant and some good dish they have and then he would chip in saying ‘really? ok let us try that.”
